sorry to beat a dead horse here but I searched for this and could not find the answer I was looking for. I am clearing my lights this weekend and need to know which lights to replace my high beams to match hid and for the upper and lower corners. I have seen people post m14 or m12 but are these upper and lower or just the upper ones? thanks

 

This is copied from an earlier topic:
Currently in our area there are a bunch of shops that will convert your high beam 9005 or 9006 lo beam system to H.I.D.The conversion is relatively easy the parts cost is about 400 to 600 depending on the shop you choose.I have converted my own car to xenon low beams and may go xenon on the highs when money permits.Essentially you need to install the electronics (very easy).The tough part is taking apart the high beam bulb.What you need is 2 9005 hi beam bulbs and a lot of patience.You need to remove the glass and the connector from the plastic base.Once this is done a standard D2R xenon bulb is fitted to the plastic base and glued in,once this is done plug it in to the headlight. Plug in the bulb to the electronics and your done.It sounds alot harder than it really is,a Dremel moto tool will make short work of modifying the 9005 bulb.You only need to plug two wires into the car harness that originally powered up the 9005 high beam bulb.Jens

You can buy beam corrected HID kits from Microlights for around $500. Just plug and play no modifying the bulbs. Or if you want to play with the bulbs you can get an HID kit from autotoys.com for alot less.

I dont want to put hids on the brights just a bulb that will replace the stock ones. thanks for that info though.

 

you can get the solaris bulbs from http://www.autosupermart.com for 74.99. that seems expensive, but its the BEST match you can get for the hids without actually converting to hids. remember our bulbs for highbeam are 9005.
